As part of the fight to reduce maternal mortality and morbidity, Texas law requires all hospitals that provide maternity services to receive a maternal level of care designation to receive Medicaid reimbursement for obstetrical care.
In 2025, The ËÄ»¢Ó°Ôº became an approved accrediting organization within the State of Texas to perform Maternal Designation surveys. The ËÄ»¢Ó°Ôº is a performance improvement organization that partners with the State of Texas to validate hospitals’ capabilities and resources to provide risk appropriate maternal care and assess the level of care compliance. We partner with local physicians and recruit Texas-based obstetrician-gynecologists, maternal nurses, and maternal-fetal medicine specialists to serve as surveyors for the program.
Our process provides a local, confidential, and collegial survey that adheres to the Texas Administrative Code and focuses on quality and collaboration.
